    Except that personal finance (which of what I’m referring to) is mostly arithmetic, while high school (and a good chunk of middle school) math is mostly algebra.

    The moment letters come into the equation (no pun intended) is when you start to lose me. And its usefulness on a day-to-day basis.

      Sorry but financial literacy requires more than 5+5. And if you can’t understand the concept of a variable there are more problems then the course work here.
